CLUB MEETINGS 


The Chicago Area Timex Users 
Group meets on the THIRD 
Saturday of each month at the 
home of our Editor, Bob Swoger, 
from 1:00 to 5:00 PM. Bob's 


home is located at 613 Parkside 
Circle in Streamwood, Illinois 
near Elgin. Bob should always 
be contacted evenings at 
708/837-7957 to confirm the 
meeting schedule. 


TREASURY NOTES 


The balance as of May 1, 1995 
is $495.20 Our current paid 
membership stands at 19. 


Phil Kwitkowski, Treasurer 
Chicago Area Timex Users Group 


SECRETARY'S NotePad 


MARCH 18, 1995 


Members present: Abed Kahale, 
Cy Herre, Phillip Kwitkowski, 
Jeff DeCourtney, Bob Swoger, 
Nazir Pashtoon, Larry Sauter, 
and Bobby Muth. 


Meeting began at 2:15 P.M. Gary 
Lessenberry has some half 
height disk drives for sale and 
Phil Kwitkowski is going to 
purchase all three of them. 
Phillip also has a RAM disk 
courtesy of Joan Kealy and he 
is happy with it. He wished for 
a color monitor and now he has 
three. Joan now has a couple of 
years of Update! as a gift from 
Phil in return. After seeing 
the 2068 on the monitor, Phil 
says the 2068 needs to be 
adjusted and Nazir suggested 
that for about $2.00 he could 
go RGB and everything will be a 
whole lot better. 


Bob Swoger has been programming 
a screen dump program that is 
rather unique and beautiful in 
that it produced a very large 
picture of Brooke Shields 
printed on an EPSON MX-80 
printer that the manual says 
will not print graphics. It 
took approximately 20 to 30 
minutes to print and 2 or 3 
hours to program. Bob knew he 
had it right when it started to 
write giant letters from the 
program listing during LPRINT. 
If Abed can transform it into 
machine code, it won't take so 








long to print a picture as it 
now does. Bob has finished the 
software for LogiCall version 
6.0 and he is working on the 
manual for its use. It will be 
available at RMG and Mechanical 
Affinity for $15.00 just before 
the Dayton ComputerFest. 


Tasword Two for LogiCall v6.0 
will save and load from tape 
whereas before it would load 
only. 


Don Lambert sent Nazir some 
Zebra controllers that were 
intermittent and Nazir was 
finally able to repair them 
since they would work if placed 
on their side and would fail to 
work when placed upright. 


The last newsletter from LIST 
brought up the fact that all 
current computers in existence 
with a clock and calendar on 
board will have a hard time 
when the year reaches 2000 
because there has been no 
provision for changing from 19 
to 20 in the computer calendar. 
That doesn't apply to the Timex 
TS2068 because it has no clock 
or calendar. Sinclair ZX 
machines win again! 


Jeff DeCourtney is moving to 
New Mexico because his folks 
are moving there to Albuquerque 
on the North East side. We wish 
him good luck in getting a new 
job there and settling down 
there. 


Bob got Print Factory and was 
disapointed that he could not 
produce all the great looking 
pictures that TTSUC could do. 
He thinks that a bunch of files 
are missing. Can any of our 
readers supply Bob with a list 
of the files that should be 
included with the Print Factory 
product? Syne Link used the 
Print Factory to produce the 
beautiful covers on their 
newsletters. 


The meeting was adjourned at 
3:43 P.M. 


April 22,1995 


Members present: Bob Swoger, 
Nazir Pashtoon, Jeff 
Decourtney, John Donaldson, 
Larry Sauter, Abed Kahale and 
Phillip Kwitkowski. 


Bob received a letter from Mr. 
Paul Holmgren with a check 
enclosed for the T/SNUG portion 
of the SNUG assets and a list 
of names to give the people a 
choice of a subscription to 
ZXir QLive Alive! publication, 
if that be their wishes. Our 
heartfelt thanks to Mr. 
Holmgren. 


Bob helped a Marie Kendall with 
a problem she was having and it 
was solved very easily. She was 
having a problem with her taxes 
on VU CALC and her large 
printer which wouldn't print in 
vertical, but would print 
horizontally. Bob dropped her a 
note telling her to use VU CALC 
to Tasword to print out the 
data and it worked for her very 
nicely. Bob also included a new 
LarKen instruction manual that 
is very nicely laid out. 


John McMichael from Wyoming has 
some video digitizer boards and 
some video cameras and color to 
gray scale converters to 
facilitate printing stored 
video from TV and camcorders to 
a storage spot on the 2068 to 
be printed on the large 
printer. 


The meeting was adjourned at 
4:08 P.M. 


Larry Sauter, Acting Secretary 
Chicago Area Timex Users Group

MEET JEFF DECOURTNEY

Fe Pad 


2 w 


Jeff DeCourtney joined CATUG in 
the Spring of 1994 while he 
lived in Elmhurst. In all that 
time he only missed one 
meeting! Though his interest at 
the time was in the 
Zx81/TS1000, a TS2068 was 
presented to him by the club. 


His present main activity with 
the TS2068 is exploring every 
program he can get his hands on 
available on from tapes, 
magazines and books. Geometric 
and graphic displays are his 
present delight. As accessories 
became available Jeff improved 
his collection. 


At this time Jeff uses a color 
monitor, G.E. data tape deck, 
original Sinclair joystick and 
TS2040 printer. Jeff has been 
unable to acquire a disk drive 
interface for his TS2068 so far 








as he has relocated to 
Albuquerque, New Mexico. 


When he locates a job there, he 
hopes to acquire a large 
printer with interface as well 
as a disk drive interface. We 
have yet to hear from him at 
his new location. An RLE of 
Jeff is in the Club BBS.

LIST! Are you LISTening? 
by 
Bob Swoger 


In his June issue of QL Corner, 
Bob Gilder wrote about Ruth 
Fegley having "oxidation 
problems on the interface pins 
and by pressing the interface 
towards the QL body tends to 
remove the oxidation.” He also 
said Bob Malloy four computers 
with the same symptoms - one or 
more of the socketed IC's had 
to be reseated into their 
respective sockets and the QL's 
then operated as they should. 
Also, the Keyboard 90 interface 
also had to be reseated into 
its respective socket. 


Bob then stated "periodically, 
all plugged-in devices such as 
interfaces and IC's should be 
partially removed and then 
pushed’ back into their 
respective sockets for flawless 
computer operation without 
power on!" 


Bob!, didn't you get to read 
NIN Volume 7 Number 5? It 
states "If you are having 
trouble with ICs in IC sockets, 
clean them with tuner cleaner 
if you wish. Then put some 
mineral oil in a saucer and dip 
the IC pins into the mineral 
oil before inserting the IC 
into the socket. The IC will go 
in so much easier!" Earlier in 
the article it said "Tuner 
cleaner just doesn’t do the job 
because after the cleaning, no 
lubricant is left behind so 
corrosion will set in, not so 
with mineral oil. Oxygen can't 
get to the metal any more so 


the electrical contact lasts 
for many years.” 


Those ICs and connectors should 
have been installed with high 
viscosity mineral oil (Squib 
comes to mind), a laxative 
obtained at the corner drug 
store and applied with a tooth 
pick on the connector or by 
placing the ICs in a bowl with 
just a little mineral oil at 
the bottom as describe in the 
NTN7.5 issue. Someone at 
Motorola came to the 
realization that if mineral oil 
could keep people cleaned out 
that in might work on 
connectors and, I don't know 
why, but it did! 


I'm afraid that Bob Malloy and 
Ruth Fegley will be back time 
and time again until mineral 
oil is used on those pins and 
connectors. I give you this 
information with 30 years 
experience at Motorola as we 
have used this trick to keep 
our connectors from going 
intermittent and there are no 
more intermittent connections 
here in CATUG country anymore! 
GET OUT THE MINERAL OIL! 


Saving TS2068 Programs 
by 
Bob Swoger 


Marie Kendall asked how to 
completely save a TS2068 
program. Some programs in to 
LogiCall collection of drives 
have such saves. VU-CALC, VU- 
FILE come to mind when one 
thinks of programs that has 
start up screens to contend 
with. 


Let us take VU-CALC for 
example. What this program has 
to save all at one moment is 
the BASIC driver VUCALC.B1, the 
screen file vc.C$ and the 
machine code program vc.Cl. At 
the moment of the request to 
save the program, the BASIC 
driver and the machine code 
program are both in memory but 
the start-up screen is not! 





It was decided that the easiest 
way to save the whole program 
when the user might have only 
one disk drive would be to have 
the user start the save with 
the original disk in the drive. 
The screen could then be bought 
into memory. Once that was 
accomplished, the user could 
put the destination disk into 
that same drive and complete 
the save routine with a simple 
press of the ENTER key. To save 
RAM space, it was decided that 
the save instructions would be 
placed in the manual and not in 
the program! (Sorry for that 
inconvenience, folks!) The 
following statement was put 
into the manual: 


"Most users like to have a 
separate disk to store VU-CALC 
and VU-FILE data along with a 
copy of the application. Both 
of these drivers have a unique 
save routine which allows you 
to save the entire program to 
another disk. When you select 
the option to save the program, 
the save routine calls the 
screen code into RAM and, 
WITHOUT TELLING YOU, waits 
for you to press ENTER to 
proceed with the save. Before 
pressing ENTER you can put a 
new disk into the current 
drive, press ENTER and the 
entire program (driver, machine 
code file and screen file) will 
be SAVEd on the new disk." 


To permit the user to save this 
program to disk I had to set up 
a menu in BASIC to which the 
machine code program could be 
directed. With VU-CALC running 
and the menu bar at the top of 
the screen, #q is the way out 
to the SAVE menu. When the user 
selects the option to save the 
program, the user response 
directs the program pointer to 
line 9992. The SAVE routine 
looks something like this: 


9992 RANDOMIZE USR 100: LOAD "v 
c.C$"SCREEN: PAUSE 0: RANDOMIZE 
USR 100: SAVE VUCALC.B1" LINE 1 
: RANDOMIZE USR 100: SAVE "vc.C
